Grey-brown wash drawing of sailing warships in a smoky naval battle on open water under a pale sky.

Episode uit de zeeslag in de Sont tussen de Hollandse en de Zweedse vloten, 8 november 1658

A grey-brown wash drawing shows a hazy naval engagement on open water beneath a pale, empty sky. Large sailing warships with furled and billowing sails crowd the left, with gun smoke drifting among them, while smaller vessels recede into the mist toward the right.
